CAUSE
The PS/2 XGA subsystem provides three possible apertures, or
windows, to video memory in the
physical memory address space of the system. Aperture size options
are 64KB, 1MB, and 4MB. The 4MB aperture option is not available on 16-bit
computers, such as those based on the 80386 SX processor. The 4MB Aperture
is also not available if the XGA subsystem is plugged into a 16 bit slot
in a 32 bit computer and is only accessible by 32 bit protect mode drivers,
such as the drivers used by Microsoft Windows NT.
Currently, Microsoft Windows NT only supports XGA with an Aperture
of 1MB, or 4MB enabled. On 16-bit IBM PS/2 computers with 16MB RAM, the
1MB meg aperture cannot be enabled.
WORKAROUND
According to IBM , a possible workaround is to use the standard
VGA which does not require this option to work, or decrease the amount
of physical RAM below 16MB.
